Please help my car stalled and now stalls on me while driving or just sitting at idle
2001 land rover discovery 156k miles
Car stalled on me while coming to a stop Battery and alternator are good Car will start randomly and run for a while but then stall again without warning Turns over but won't start but sometimes it will start on first turn All fluids are at the right level Things I've heard it could be include: Fuel pump (but why does it run sometimes) Fuel pressure regulator Crankshaft position sensor O2 sensors? Is that a possible cause of a stall? I want to start buying parts to install them asap. Any help on where I should start would be great Also if its a fuel problem where could I connect a tester |
clean the IACV first. Carbon and burnt oil builds up and the valve 'seals' itself shut. A can of throttle body cleaner may be all you need.
after that, yeah, you are on the right track. do the cheap stuff first. Fuel filter would top my list. Then move to the fuel pump. Plenty of threads on trouble shooting that item. |

I just bought a CPS just waiting for it to come in Next part will be the fuel pressure regulator which I can't seem to find where it goes if someone could help me with that thank you. Also as far as the fuel filter goes where can I find that because I've been reading that it is built into the pump assembly as a sock. I have not found an external one. And if my car stays on for a while accelerates fine for about 10-15 minutes then dies and won't start again can that be the pump or should my car not start at all if its the pump? |
the D2 doesnt have an external / inline fuel filter....only the one in the tank(pump)
get a fuel pressure gauge and check or try to monitor the pressure at the fuel rail...it should be in the 30-35 psi range....yes the pump can operate sporadically if it's just starting to fail.. usually the crank position sensor fails as it gets warm and you lose spark.....will work again as it cools off |

Hopefully its not my pump because that's the pricier of fixes. Can anyone help for where the ground is for the pump? Maybe I have a loose ground. Yeah sounds about right but I've changed it once be fore about a year or two ago over a different issue Going to clean out the throttle body tomorrow morning and put some gas along with injector cleaner see if any changes Thanks everyone |
I forgot to mention that after the incident I checked my dipstick and it was low on oil
I filled it up and same thing keeps happening stalls after it gets warm. Could any of the oil sensors have anything to do with this issue?? |
